The discs contained in this boxed set entitled Rockin' the USA Vol.2 cover the period April 1969 through to July 1970.

yes, more cases of collectors discs that were compiled to be distributed for free now in a box with a price tag in a shop.

one day you'll be able to spend money on everything you can get for free now:)

You don't have to spend a dime on these sets.
All are available for download on Demonoid.
That's why they've been uploaded.
All active with seeders!
Of course, they are copies of widely available collector's sets,
as Johanicr correctly mentioned above.

One more thing.
Moonbeams & Fairytales is NOT a limited edition.
There's no number or place for it on the box
(I know, I have one).

The point is: which came first (the chicken or the egg): the bootleg or torrent?

This guy offers no proof that this came from the Jeffrey Estate, bootleg silver CD's or CD-R's He could have download it all here, printed up his own covers, got the CD's pressed and gone into business all by himself.

Unfortunately, sites like this make it easy for anyone to go into the bootleg business.

He says there are only 1,000 copies. I believe 1,000 is the minimum order accepted by a CD pressing plant.

Moonbeams & Fairytales is DIRECT copy of the Revision A (2005 - main difference from other versions is missing of the Lund show) collector's set with the same name.
Here's the info about it from the H-P's Site:

One more thing to clarify for RobbieRadio.
Collector's sets are not circulating only as torrents.
As far as I know, original M&F collector's set was NEVER torrented.
Only 2008 Rock of Ages copy is now available as a torrent on Demonoid.
So, what comes first "bootleg or a torrent" isn't exactly a valid question
regarding majority of the bootlegged collector's titles.
Contrary to many people's beliefs, torrents are not the sources for
the bootleggers (which makes the whole matter even more sad . Bottom line: when it comes to rare- & non circulating recordings you can not trust ANYONE these days).

But that is exactly what Ed Chalpin seems to be doing for the Jeffrey "estate"! Someone mailed me to inform me that "3 Nights At Winterland" was MP3 sourced (he'd analysed the files). Then came their copy of "Box Of Gypsys" and those "Rockin The USA" collections.

Torrent sites became popular only since 2003.
Ed Chalpin and so called M. Jeffrey's estate aren't the only bootleggers in the world so it's not smart to draw any definite conclusions based on their products only.
Regarding MP3 sourced bootlegs, that's very hard to determine just by analyzing the files. MiniDisc sourced CDs would give similar results when analyzed in WAV editor programs. Also high bitrate MP3 is not bad at all.
There is some loss in quality above 15 KHZ and most audience recordings from the 60s don't have any musical signal above 10 KHZ anyway.
In any case, I prefer that bootleggers use well known collector's discs as they source. That way we can compile these titles on factory pressed
CDs. Is it leagal? Of course not. Is it moral? Of course not.
Do you have to buy them? Of course not. Can you find them for free on the Internet as torrents? Of course you can.

Does this set contain all readily available studio outtakes/alt mixes, versions/interviews/shows from late 66 through to dec 67?

Are they factory pressed CD's?

I enjoy buying CD's even though I can D/L most of them, I just enjoying collecting.

Absolutely everything might not be there but it's not far off. Sound quality will vary of course.

Yes, suupposedly in a limited number.

This set that is available for purchace is dated, sorry out dated. The boot chappie appears to have used the first available set to boot. When it was "pressed" up version 3 was available with updates etc.
Buying this set is a joke in truth. Your just buying a set of material a few collectors put some hard work into for you to have for free. The original art is well better too, jellycat stuff.
btw, this set is also available on the Hard Drive.
Also, buying this set just makes it more likely the tossers making money off of this will do it again with another collectors set. I suggest if you want it on CD, grab the FREE copy and art, burn to a high quality CD and print up the disc face. Grab a little quality paper and print up the covers .................. slip into a jewel case as per art work and they'll look just like mine FUCKING AMAZING and sound wonderful on play back.

I stumbled across this thread because I'm currently trying to DL this set myself, on the open torrents.. stuck at 55% though and dont think it's likely to improve.
The advice about DL'ing a collectors set and printing one's own covers would be correct, in principle.. but the 'Big Problem' is that this set, like *every other* comprehensive set whether collectors' sets or retail ripoffs , is pretty much unavailable at any reputable boot forum, whether it be here, or Dime, because of the 'no commercially released tracks' issue..

If I could get the entire Studio '66, and all the ATM series Electric Ladyland sessions (tho i have the apartment ones and 224-5) , I think i'd be well on the way to replicating only some the material in the set (which is, admittedly, huge).. but again.. these i just mentioned have also been relegated to the 'banned torrents' section.
I certainly understand the need to be seen to exercise vigilance, re commercial tracks.. i know this is the only reason they let us alone.

Still it's a pain.. and it means that access to these sets need be via open trackers like KAT etc.. unfortunately. folks that put them up don't seem to feel the need to seed .. and the longer one's waiting for them to complete, the more likely to attract the *wrong* sort of attention..

So this is precisely why, despite the fact that these "authorised by the jeffrey estate' jokes may indeed have come fromtorrents, collectors CDs, or worse, MP3.. and despite the fact that we know we're supporting the very worst kind of thieves, we still buy these sets..
I'd certainly rather finish this torrent of the set, than have to buy it.. only because it gives me a sick feeling to give these kind of folks my cash..
But... stuck at 55%.. for a long time now...
See my point?

Point seen and taken.
I recommend snail mail trading when it comes to this stuff. Requests can be made on this site.
Regards ATM's, see the Hard Drive thread. This covers most (all bar one) ATM's currently available. Yes, some issues with some content but small issue really.

To my Mind, The above mentioned HD is a MUST for all Jimi Uber Fans, (Which is all of us, or you wouldn`t be Here reading this!)
A) it`s got all ATM`s - Audio and Video
B) It`s got lots of other good Jimi stuff (V. Descriptive Huh?)
C) it makes a Perfect "Back-up" (This one is for me V important)
D) Hard Drives are so small (Saves on postage) and Cheap (Saves on pocket)
What More Can You Ask For?

Long time ago, me and my fellow partner M.Z. ( here in my same town) started a big task
Put everything Of Jimi ( live and studio tapes) in chronological order.
well, we started with 1966-1967...i had a big tapes/cd collection,( and nice friends around) he a massive Boot collection,
again we did ( after year-s of work) a 22 cd collection, and called this JIMI HENDRIX SAGA.
i did the covers on plain WORD files....some are still around in Pink robert site....on JPEG now...

i made copy to friends here in my country ,i make a trade with pinkrobert, i sent a copy to Marco in england
thats' all, never sold this to any estate !! !:-) it was a fan job....we enjoyed that!

Someone refined the job , adding the last "discovered" tapes...and this was renamed
Jimi Hendrix - Moonbeams & Fairytales (22 CD Box).....( i spoked to the guy, a good fellah!)
but how :-) but how !funny is this

"Officially licensed from the estate of Hendrix’s former manager, Michael Jeffery"

WHAAAT!!! i never know that!!!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!:-)

OK, tell to the guy that we finished 1968 two years ago, ( 69 cd...sleeping in my HD, NOW.)
with a nice booklet with a info page for every disc.
but we collapsed on 1969....still stopped at september.....

ho, man this is really funny! :-)

well. jeffery estate can contact me in anytime!!
ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Ciao!

damn I got some missing - only made 61 discs for my '68!

[In my Opinion] Near as I can tell "licensed from the Jeffrey Estate' means about the same thing as paying yer 50$ to become an instant "licensed minister'.. I think [In my opinion] they sell these 'licences' out to any hustler who's found a torrent to copy..
Unfortunately, most casual fans know nothing of the source..

Thanks for the 14 disc comp tho!!.. i expect to actually fill out the set to match the art for the 22 disc one is going to take For *ever*.. as I;m going to have to check and compare every track ..although there's a good chance i have them somewhere..
